World Gin Day, celebrated on the 2nd Saturday of June every year, is a day for everyone and anyone (of legal drinking age, of course) to celebrate, indulge and enjoy gin! Whether you’re an existing fan or just getting started, World Gin Day is the perfect occasion to discover the juniper-laced spirit or try new ways of enjoying it.
This year, the wonderful juniper-flavoured spirit will be celebrated on the 11th of June and it’s the perfect excuse to get together with friends for a few drinks. Raise a glass to the brilliant spirit that is GIN, whether it’s in a cocktail, a G&T or neat as part of a sampling.
